“Turn out our own base”

what fucking turn out? They didn’t even offer their own voters anything.

The margins are narrow enough that it will be a 2016 style coin flip that’s decided by which way the independent voters break, and the normies are too pissed off at abortion bans and too annoyed by Trump to break for him again.

Unless Genocide Joe managed to completely alienate every Muslim voter in Michigan, and the Pennsylvania margin is narrow enough that the Supreme Court can do another judicial coup.

The plan for the war makes less sense every year.

The US navy doesn’t have the capacity to close the Taiwan straight anymore, so the idea now is to blockade the Singapore straight, 3000 kilometers to the south, and cut off Chinese shipping from the world markets… that is to say, the nation that doesn’t produce anything but excel spreadsheets thinks it can win a war by blocking the source of all the cheap goods that keep their consumer economies running.

This feels like a serious fuck up for the western media. They handwave the existence of their billionaire owners by saying that they don’t determine what gets printed , even though that’s an obvious lie , but now they’re on record with the billionaire owner putting his foot down for Trump.

Society is 12 hours of internet outage away from chaos.

It’s so funny to me that the centrist liberals can see the ground collapsing beneath them, but instead of spending any money on higher wages or building more housing, or doing anything at all to improve material conditions, they’re going with this pointless bullshit.

Liberalism hasn’t been a fighting religion for nearly a century now. No one is ever going to be inspired to fight for the collapsing status quo and the “common defense of the Constitution” (whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean) when half the country thinks the Feds are building FEMA death camps, and the other half recognizes the supreme court as an active threat that needs to be dismantled.

Robotaxi? Does Tesla do anything at this point except copy stuff that Chinese companies have been doing for years?

Well, I’m sure the Tesla version will cost 10x as much and have a triple digit bodycount in the first month.

It’s driven by the massive spike in the cost of living, especially the cost of food / housing / energy, which no party is interested in addressing, so yeah, it’s a fucking problem that isn’t going away.

They can’t get him off the ballot at this point, the election is 45 days away.

It’s a twitter brained NAFO guy. Funnily enough, the libs own this one.

Although it’s still kind of funny that political violence is just becoming a thing now.

Is everyone just gambling that Trump will be as incoherent as Biden? Cause with her promising nothing to voters, and the polls falling back towards Trump, it seems like the Democrats need to her to fucking slaughter Trump tonight, and I don’t think she has it in her.

On the other hand, she did once call Biden a racist segregationist to his face, right up on the Democratic primary stage. That was cool.

I think it could survive a delay. Spiderverse is the only piece of Sony superhero slop that people are interested in, and it managed to build up a massive audience on streaming during the delay between the first movie and the second one. The Post Malone / Spiderverse video from the first movie has more than two billion views on youtube.

The multiverse gimmick is getting so played out though.

Yeah , and because the ships are so old and badly maintained they had to constantly reboot the controls and find work arounds for them.

The funny thing is that Russia has kept moving into the Donbas this entire time, blasting through lines that have been fortified since 2014, because the Ukrainian reserves that might have held on there are currently getting blasted to shit trying to hold the salient in Kursk.

Someone high up must have really believed all the propaganda about Russian casualties, because the whole thing makes no sense otherwise.

It was deeply boring. One billionaire sucking off another for getting shot at for what felt like a full hour, then Trump rambling on with Musk going “uh huh” “yeah” every minute or so.

Did Kamala’s crowd sizes really put the fear in Trump or what? His only rally this week is in fucking Montana tomorrow, with none scheduled for the rest of the month. He’s just doing unhinged press conferences.

Imagine if the Democrats had brought this kind of competence and energy to 2016 by running LITERALLY ANY OTHER CANDIDATE!

Yeah, because it’s patently obvious that the US is in terminal decline, while China is going to be the worlds foremost economic and manufacturing power for at least the rest of the century. Even TSMC has facilities and employees in mainland China now.

first season was a wonderful surprise that genuinely elevated the source material, with Paddy Considine putting an amazing performance as King Viserys. Second season …eh, it made some weird choices, but it’s nowhere near as bad as Game of Thrones got.
